Bamboo is the sublimation of the soul, the foundation of being a man, the concept of morality, teaching, beauty, truth and supremacy, and the artistic realm of heaven and earth, universe, quietness and emptiness. Bamboo lives in groups, is independent and fearless, upright and upright, and is always full of vitality no matter whether it is cold or hot. It takes root in the soil, drinks the sweet spring, and has a knot when it is not unearthed; Branches cross clouds and dreams, leaves shoot the sky, and Lingyun is humble. Its bamboo character: faithful and noble, resistant to wind and rain, proud of ice and snow, strong and unyielding, modest and vigorous, evergreen all the year round, so it is known as one of the four gentlemen. At the same time, it is also considered as a symbol of noble character and open-minded sentiment. There are several other expressions of bamboo: ink bamboo, tall and straight, elegant; Zhu Zhu, festive and auspicious, has the meaning of avoiding evil; Green bamboo is handsome and bright, giving people a feeling of quiet and new speed; Golden bamboo is a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
Bamboo is a favorite plant in people's lives. The ancients said that bamboo is not grass or wood. In fact, bamboo is an evergreen undergraduate plant, belonging to Bambusoideae, which is tree-like or shrub-like. There are about 50 genera 1300 species of bamboo, and there are 26 genera and 250 species in China. Due to the different growth conditions of underground stems of bamboo, bamboo can be divided into three types: tufted, scattered and mixed. Mainly distributed in the Yangtze River Basin, South China, Southwest China and other places. Mo Zhu: As to which painter created it, there are different opinions. It is said that bamboo painting originated in the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, there is a passage "Maid and Bamboo" in the mural of Tang Taizi's tomb excavated in Shaanxi in 197 1. There are three bamboo poles beside the servant girl, which are not double hooks and have no color. The branches and leaves are all written in ink. In the early Tang Dynasty murals in Dunhuang, there are also murals with the ink bamboo statue behind the Buddha's body as the background (such as the "illustration" on the east wall of Cave 322). In fact, there is a saying who painted bamboo. It is said that "painting bamboo began with rubbings, and Wang Wei (rubbings) once painted two bamboos for Kaiyuan Temple, with beautiful shapes. Self-cultivation, childishness, yes, the back is rational, the branches and leaves are sparse, and the fibers are not messy.
Xi 'an's forest of steles still preserves the double-hook steles carved by later generations. Is it a double hook or ink bamboo? I'm not sure. It is a fact to paint independently. Whether Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would create ink bamboo remains to be verified. We can only regard "Emperor Zhao Ziming" as a symbol of an era. Wu Daozi and Wang Wei are both from the Ming Dynasty, and they are both very capable and can draw ink and bamboo. Zhang Tuigong was a painter specializing in bamboo painting in Li Yan's period at the end of Yuan Dynasty. He was good at painting bamboo. What he said is that ink bamboo is the symbol of the emperor. His formulation is reasonable in the history of painting. Speaking of Xiao Yue, he was really famous for painting bamboo in the Tang Dynasty. He gave Bai Juyi a painting of "two dense clusters and fifteen stems", which was highly praised by Bai Juyi. For this reason, Bai Juyi also wrote a "Bamboo Painting Song" to praise this painting and Xiao Yue's superb techniques. Zhang Yanyuan's Notes on Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties contains: "Xiao Yue, Xie Lvlang, Gong Zhu, Yi Se." Monochrome bamboo is not necessarily ink bamboo. It is also possible for Xiaoyue to draw monochrome bamboo and learn the previous ink bamboo techniques.
Another popular saying is that ink bamboo was created by Li Furen in the Five Dynasties. According to the gist of Historical Records, Li Furen is the daughter of a famous scholar in West Shu who is good at writing and painting. Guo Chongtao, a general in the later Tang Dynasty, got her (in fact, she was captured) when she attacked Shu. Li Furen regarded Guo Chongtao as a martial artist, and he tasted melancholy and unhappiness. She sat alone on the south porch on a moonlit night, and saw bamboo shadows dancing and lovely, which was written on enough paper. She will see it tomorrow, and her business is enough. There is indeed Li Fu in history, and her experience is also very sympathetic. As for the ink bamboo she painted, it is similar to folklore. In the late Tang Dynasty, there were Zhang Li's ink bamboo murals and covers in Daci Temple, which were not found in the Five Dynasties, not to mention in Li Furen, and there were no ink bamboo works handed down from generation to generation in Li Furen.
In the Song Dynasty, ink bamboo was very popular and its shape tended to be perfect. It not only looks lifelike, but also reaches a certain level in pen and ink, composition, charm and artistic conception. In the case of Wentong (and Keke) Zhu Mo, the image has reached a "suspicious wind." Look at his painting "Sitting in Weichuan Waterhouse". Like cursive script, he uses calligraphy in painting. In the use of ink, the painting of bamboo leaves "with ink depth as the surface and light as the back" has changed shades; In composition, not only the whole bamboo is painted, but also the broken branches are painted, and the forms tend to be diverse, so it is handsome and charming. What is more prominent is that before painting, he should be "well-thought-out" and thoughtful; When painting, you should "shake straight, the rabbit rises and the crane falls" and "not in shape, but different from the image". Through the image of Zhu Mo, the artistic conception of "blowing cold clouds, standing proudly in the snow" and "beckoning the moon and singing the wind" is shown, which means to send love. When commenting on Wentong's paintings, Su Shi further personified the description of bamboo. He said: "The fierce snow and the preciseness of the cliff make him not arrogant, live in groups without humiliation, be independent without fear, and be with you." He said that Wen Tong painted bamboo with feelings of bamboo, but also praised Wen Tong for some feelings. Wen Tong himself said that bamboo is a kind of thing, "It is more labor-saving than any wood with an open mind", and he painted bamboo with the feeling of loving bamboo exercises. He said: "If Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan's Cao Luan is a servant." So he painted bamboo not only to depict the image of bamboo, but to express his will and feelings by painting bamboo. Wentong's ink bamboo appeared in an epoch-making way, and the ancients were eclipsed in front of him. Wen Tong painted bamboo for others, saying, "Don't wait for others to write calligraphy, let him write poetry when he comes", but Su Shi thinks that Shi is extremely lucky to do this, day and night. Therefore, many of Wentong's paintings contain Su Shi's poems. By expressing his feelings, writing poems has become a new part of the picture. Painting is a kind of literati painting advocated by Su Shi and Wen Tong, which is tacitly combined with calligraphy, poetry and sentences, deliberately seeking God, reciting things, not specializing in shape, but longer than imagination. Ink bamboo is an outstanding representative of this kind of painting. Some people say that ink bamboo is the product of celebrity painting, and literati painting has also promoted its development because of its rich nutrition.
Due to the advocacy of Wentong Su Shi, more and more people engaged in ink-wash bamboo slips painting in Song Dynasty, and created a large number of ink-wash bamboo slips works, and the Song Dynasty government also made a certain number of fine collections. The Picture Book of Xuanhe divides the paintings collected in the palace at that time into ten categories, and "Zhu Mo Gate" is one of them. In the category of painting, Zhu Mo occupied a place, which began in the Song Dynasty. Plant theme, as a category in painting, is the earliest.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Mo was very popular for advocating simplicity and catering to this aesthetic taste. During this period, some painters specializing in ink bamboo appeared, such as Li Yan and Gu An, and many landscape and flower-and-bird painters were good at it. It can be said that the history of ink bamboo fever has promoted the development of ink bamboo creation to perfect form, standardized techniques and diversified styles. For example, Li Yan's strict statutes, Guan Daosheng's exquisite beauty, Wang Meng's profundity, Gu 'an's natural and unrestrained charm, Ke's pen and ink, Ni Zan's loose brushwork and the simplicity of Zhenwu have all brought his form, meaning, tolerance and charm to a higher level. The Yuan Dynasty was the golden age of Zhu Mo's development.
Wang Bi and Xia Chang were famous bamboo writers in the early Ming Dynasty. They inherited the tradition of Song and Yuan Dynasties and made great efforts in the formation of the law established by their predecessors. Their works are rigorous, beautiful and graceful. However, we are more law-abiding than innovative. After reading the works of Wen Tong and Gu An, this feeling is even more prominent. From the whole Ming Dynasty, the pursuit of freehand brushwork and pen and ink was the mainstream. Chen Chun and Xu Wei's freehand brushwork of flowers and birds naturally influenced Zhu Mo. Tang Yin, Gui Changshi and others, with strong brushwork and brilliant ink color, have their own styles and characteristics. There are many mozhu writers, but there are not many amazing works. In the early Qing Dynasty, Shi Tao, a senior master, reached a new peak in form, pen and ink, spirit and artistic conception, with great momentum and dripping ink. Zheng Banqiao looked at his paintings and said admiringly, "What a pity! It is beyond the reach of stone people! " Shi Tao opened a new era for Zhu Mo. In the early Qing Dynasty, many painters endowed Zhu Mo with various styles, such as Zhu Da's simple brushwork, Wu Hong's free and easy, Zhu Sheng's rigorous workmanship, Luo Pin's bold and unrestrained attitude and his elegant style. Zheng Banqiao created a lean and vigorous style, combined with poems such as A Book of Six and a Half, A Land of Thunder, and A Book Revealing the Sky, which was unique and popular all over the world. Zheng Xie (Zheng Banqiao) claimed to be "a painting without past and present". In fact, his paintings are not divorced from tradition. He just didn't learn from the same family, but he thought brilliantly. His works are highly respected in the contemporary era and will stand in the future, because he painted the spirit of the times and was the product of a certain historical period. Compared with his predecessors, he is innovative and has a distinctive personality style. Whoever innovates and writes the spirit of the times will touch people's hearts and win praise. After that, for a long time, due to the influence of Chen Xiangyin, bamboo painting flourished, but few innovators. In modern times, Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi put the spirit of stone into the ink bamboo painting, and the sheep had a long front and wrote a unique ink bamboo with a slow pen like a knife carving stone. Because it was covered by other painting themes, it was not noticed by pedestrians.
There are outstanding bamboo painting masters at present, such as Lu Kunfeng of China Academy of Fine Arts, Dong Shouping and Sun Qifeng of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, Professor Wang Shenglie, Professor Guo Xihe, Professor Yan and Professor Ji Guanzhi of Luxun Academy of Fine Arts. Professor sichuan fine arts institute Bai Cheng; Professor Su Baozhen from Southwest Normal University; Ancient painting and calligraphy appraisers Yang and Xie; Professor Pu Zuo from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts; Qiu Chen, painter of Shanghai Traditional Chinese Painting Academy: Zhang Lichen, professor of Central Academy of Fine Arts; Professor Zhang Shijian of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts; Professor Jiang and others from Suzhou. The bamboo they painted can be said to be unique in style, accumulating the essence of ancient and modern times, becoming a fresh and refined family, and truly painting the elegant mood and step-by-step meaning of bamboo.
The prevalence of ink bamboo, with the progress of the years, is enduring. Factions are developing, and their styles and features are constantly enriched. Why can ink bamboo win the favor of painters and win such love? First of all, it is the most comfortable tool for painters to pin their thoughts and feelings. Bamboo itself is knotty, hollow, with green stems and leaves, tall and straight, vigorous and powerful, with strong vitality but never changing color. Literati painters compare things with interest: there are festivals, which can be associated with moral integrity; Hollow is open-minded; Straight can be compared to integrity; Branches and leaves are the same color, which can be compared to the integration of literature and quality; From small to large, like a top gun; Frost queen is a symbol of not being afraid of violence. While "modesty", "sprinkling breeze", "Jasper Ao Shuang" and "Straight Festival Lingyun" are common painting themes. Some painters use it as a metaphor for moral quality. For example, Ke Jiusi wrote an inscription in Bamboo Painting in Qing Dynasty: "When you are cold, you will be sincere; When you are alone, you are strong and upright, tolerant and open-minded, firm and unyielding. Compared with gentlemen, they don't trade in poor years and change color. " Zhenwu said in Painting Bamboo: "The moon is cloudy, quite frosty, lonely and empty, and it doesn't change seasons." This is a metaphor for people, but mainly for themselves. Some use it as a metaphor, such as bamboo paintings such as Wentong and Zhenwu, which are often curled up, emphasizing the spirit of perseverance and stubbornness. Some people say that bending down first and then reaching up is the symbol of Lingyun. Dai wanted to get ahead in the Qing Dynasty and later became an official (right assistant minister of the Ministry of War). He drew a poem on a bamboo slip, saying, "After the rain, the dragon grows with the sun, and the wind shakes before, and the guilty conscience is firm, pointing to the sun will do it." It is Ling Yunzhi who is holding him back. Some are used to express feelings. Zheng Banqiao's "Ya Zhai Lie Listening to Zhu" is suspected to be the voice of folk sufferings; Some small collectors in Caozhou County always care about their feelings. This is a sympathy for the people's suffering; And Wu Changshuo's "guest" is as sweet as Shan Ye's bamboo shoots. When will I go back to see the new lotus? " It is the feeling of homesickness and homesickness that I don't want to be an official outside. Yuan Yuan's title "Old Bamboo" is "Ling Yunzhi, the frost festival is more persistent, the spring breeze should be managed, and the cause belongs to children and grandchildren." What he said is the principle of life, which is a metaphor. Some use it to talk about the world, such as Xu Wei's "Snow Bamboo", "The snow in the mountains is thick and waist-free, and the city tiles are still piled five feet high; Crush the green snake 3 million, dry the jade rabbit and sweep the double tips. " It is a criticism of the buried talents at that time. And Jin Nong's Bamboo says that "there is dust outside the bamboo, and the wind blows less and less dust;" It's clean. There is no land here. Only monks are allowed to lead cranes. " This is a metaphor. At that time, there was too much right and wrong in society and there was no room for good people. Some borrowed bamboo to express my confession. When Zheng Banqiao resigned as the county magistrate of wei county, he borrowed the title of bamboo "Tell me to go back, draw bamboo to wei county Junmin" and said: "The bird yarn is not an official, and the sleeves are cold; Write a thin bamboo and make a fishing rod on the autumn wind river. " Is to confess your honesty to the group. Shi Tao used "there was a knot before it was unearthed, and there was no intention of lingyun." Exculpate for people's evaluation of his "receiving driving" several times. Some also use bamboo paintings to describe their life experiences. For example, Zhenwu is young and energetic, has studied literature and practiced martial arts, and wants to make a difference. As a result, he was not reused. Instead, he was isolated from the world and wrote poems on bamboo. He said, "Xie Youchu smelled the fragrance of powder, the clouds were pale and the shadows were gray, and the wind was not old. The quietness was really long." Zhou Lin, a monk in the Ming Dynasty, wrote: "There is no way to kill the mountain if there is an empty river and autumn rain." How many Huangling sedges hate, love songs are in the bamboo branches. "This shows his mental state after becoming a monk. Ni Zan once expressed his attitude towards life by writing bamboo. He said in the "Bamboo Thesis": "One stroke is a vertical and horizontal success, and burning incense will make the rest of the Han Dynasty; In front of the window, the bamboo sticks lean against the stone, and the cold rain is gloomy for the sunset. "Li Rihua's bamboo (writing Hsinchu) is purely lyrical." A foot thick mud after the rain. Jade buds burst out with tendons; The thin bees with dragonfly wings must be short and have poor green shadows. "The rich meanings written by literati painters are too numerous to mention. Emotionally, the painter's joys and sorrows can be expressed on painting bamboo. Yuan Dynasty's Jueyin said that bamboo should be written with anger. Wentong plans to trickle down a section of Goose Creek, and the cold tip will be swept away by ten thousand feet. "Write bamboo is strong; Zheng Banqiao's "Only the bamboo branches are not afraid, but it is quite a fight for 1000 games. "Writing bamboo is brave; Li's "Dare to laugh at yourself, and still love the wind when you are extravagant. "So, writing bamboo freely, Zhenwu's" Playing and Sweeping the Breeze 500 Rod "is based on writing bamboo freely; Ni Zan doesn't need a thousand sunshine to get rid of boredom. "Writing bamboo based on depression; A high wall "try to see frost on the branches, not as good as tears." "It is also said that bamboo was written by injury. Li Yunzhu's bamboo painting poems are: I have been learning to paint bamboo since I was a child; Modest and thrifty Ling Yunzhi is still alive. It is the ambition of painting bamboo. Several old poles are straight, although there are no branches and leaves, they are true, and the leaves of small bamboo are the most true. It is said that Zhu Jun lives up to his reputation: it is truth to be a man like Zhu Jun, not a false reputation; Branches are leafy and grow regularly; It stands proudly all year round. It is to write about the growth law of bamboo and the integrity of bamboo. Dance a little ink on your chest, and the painter is self-sufficient; Spring has arrived, and the color is like a charming girl. Only modest people can become bamboo and compare bamboo gentlemen to girls. Painting bamboo is not like praying for god, and it is not suitable for dry and wet in the shade; Writing about bamboo doesn't necessarily mean painting bamboo, but borrowing bamboo is the most interesting. The chest is angular and the bottom of the pen is towering. Rough life experience, complex mood, can write bamboo. It is not difficult to understand that painters love painting. Now, some people write about the harvest of bamboo, showing people's joy, and some people praise the emergence of new things, which are like mushrooms after rain. It is still the favorite theme for painters to praise socialism.
Ink bamboo is so popular because it combines the beauty of painting with the beauty of calligraphy and has a unique aesthetic complex of the Chinese nation. "The ancient painting method is calligraphy, and we can see good works from ink" is the characteristic of Chinese painting, especially in Zhu Mo. The ancients called painting bamboo writing bamboo because it was associated with calligraphy. Wang Bi once emphasized the method of painting bamboo: "Dry is the seal, festival is the official, branches are the grass, and leaves are the truth." Ink bamboo is a painting of calligraphy, and it is also the calligraphy of painting. In a painting by Zhu Mo, the better the art of calligraphy is played, the richer the rhythm of inner beauty is. Painters and painters in the Song Dynasty paid great attention to this feature. "Mr. Shishi (Wentong) paints with calligraphy, while Taoist Huang Tingjian in the valley paints with calligraphy, and Dongpo lay people have both. However, all the evaluations of Mo Zhugao in past dynasties mentioned his calligraphy skills. Huang Huashan, as a wandering master, wrote a faint seal cutting of bamboo slips: a comment on Wang Tingjun and his son in Jin Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, there were more such comments. " * * * says that Ni Jun knows how to brush, and counting poles is more romantic. "Is the ink bamboo in Ni Zan; Get your hands off me. "I love reading Dr. Ke. I write the Eight Methods fluently. "It means Ke Jiusi;" My wife writes bamboo like writing, not falling behind the painter's path. "It's a comment on Guan Daosheng;" Gu Congjun, the grandson of the tiger, wrote the Eight Laws. "This is also an evaluation of Gu An. In the Ming Dynasty, Wen Zhiming said that Tang Yin, "Tang Lang writes like a bamboo, full of charm". Writing bamboo with calligraphy not only makes the painting beautiful, but also enhances the charm of the painter. It is our traditional aesthetic view to draw people and measure people's character by drawing. A painter's painting is like an expression of character. People hang a picture of ink bamboo in the room, and also feel that the wind is very cool and high. Of course, for people who are arty, it should be another matter.
Zhu Mo has both calligraphy and painting, which is manifested in various aspects. Zheng Banqiao's long-term experience in painting bamboo is very concrete. He said: "Calligraphy is wired, and bamboo must be wired; Calligraphy has a shade, and bamboo should also have a shade; Calligraphy is dense and bamboo is denser. " It seems that ink bamboo and calligraphy are interlinked in pen and ink, style and composition. The painter enriched the rhythm of painting with calligraphy kung fu; Many calligraphers have been trying to draw ink bamboo to enrich the beauty of calligraphy with their demeanor. Painters and painters complement each other and penetrate each other, which also opens up a wider field for Zhu Mo.
Of course, if you want to draw ink bamboo well, you need not only calligraphy skills, but also moral introspection, knowledge and experience accumulation, temperament and demeanor, and more importantly, long-term efforts, accumulation over time, and practical practice. I have been painting bamboo for more than 30 years. In practice, I must first be confident, self-reliant, self-reliant, self-respecting and self-respecting. Painting is a combination of emotion, spirit and qi. Tradition+skill = innovation; Bamboo without bamboo is like bamboo without bamboo; The bamboo in my heart (the bamboo in love) is the bamboo of forgetting myself. Be high, new, refined and difficult; Exquisite, extraordinary and atmospheric.
To be a successful artist, one must have the spirit of moving mountains; The second is to have the spirit of reading Fengzi; The third is to have the adventurous spirit of adventurers; Fourth, we should have the spirit of solving crimes by looking for a needle in a haystack; Fifth, we should have the spirit of continuous practice of ancient calligraphers in Linchi; Sixth, we should have Bethune's spirit of Excellence and so on. At the same time, we should be indifferent to fame and fortune, live in poverty and loneliness, learn to think in the solitude of foxes, and walk in and out in creation. Because painting and writing are a great hobby and elegant thing of literati, and they are also a hard and slow road pursued by literati. Broad-minded, not afraid of details, with a strong sense of patriotism, national justice, lofty ideological aspirations and noble sentiments. Painting is the birth truth of personality, and it does not compete with villains. And contribute to human spiritual civilization for free. "Art is the source of my life, and I will devote my life's energy to the great art cause selflessly." The purpose of artists is to create the best works for the motherland and the people. We are all China people, and we should unite as one, and Qi Xin should work together to strive for the great rejuvenation of the national cause and the prosperity of the country. The purpose of painting is to reflect the great spirit of the whole national era. Such as; Painting bamboo means painting his integrity, backbone, aura and integrity. "Painting pursues a calm and peculiar psychology, a natural state of mind that is neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor flattering or dry. Drawing bamboo is not an easy task. It is said that painting bamboo for life and painting orchid for a hundred years. It can be seen that it is difficult to draw bamboo. Over the years, my painting of ink bamboo is mainly based on vivid charm, and I have made in-depth exploration. The way I draw bamboo is light, straight, round, rhythmic, firm, hard, solid and true. Wu Zhen once said: "What can be done in autumn can only be seen at a glance." Zheng Banqiao has a poem that says, "For forty years, I painted bamboo branches during the day and wrote my thoughts at night." I can see that he is working hard. Ink bamboo has endless exploration and can accommodate advanced development. However, it is simple and easy to do, and it is suitable for people of different levels to draw. There are many examples of literati playing with ink and avoiding brushwork; Children's graffiti can be seen by beginners. Painters can be used for high-level artistic creation, and beginners can also be used as an introduction to painting enlightenment. Painters love painting, calligraphers also paint, and beginners can paint, so the scope of Zhu Mo's authors has expanded. When people gather firewood, the flame is high, and the trend of letting a hundred flowers blossom naturally takes shape.
One factor that cannot be ignored is its mass base. As mentioned above, it condenses the beauty of calligraphy and painting, caters to the national appreciation habits and is popular. Although ink bamboo is a literati painting, it is mainly based on bamboo and expresses an artist's inner feelings through painting bamboo, that is, expressing feelings and feelings. The key is the plant bamboo, which brings benefits and convenience to the people and people have feelings for it. Bamboo, orchid, plum and chrysanthemum are also called "four gentlemen" in literati painting. But in people's minds, it is different from the other three. Bamboo shoots are edible and bamboo can be used, which can provide tools and raw materials for human beings in construction, transportation, labor and life. It can be used to make both utensils and paper. Many ancient musical instruments were made of bamboo. Bamboo is a kind of wealth, which has made great contributions to the development of human history and culture. People are familiar with it and like it. Painting is a beautiful shape, and the image that people like will naturally win the appreciation of many people. Moreover, through the works of poets and painters, the artistic conception of poems such as "Rain washes Juanjuan quietly, the wind blows fine fragrance", "Alcohol sucks Xiaoxiang color, spits green" and "Frost is heavy and the wind is blue, and the moon is cold" is sublimated, which makes people show or hide when they look at paintings. Ink bamboo, which gives people beautiful enjoyment, is rare in other art forms. People become gentlemen, and flowers are as beautiful as nature; It is rare for Zhu Jun to be more open-minded when he is strong. God loves the bamboo, and the world values the late love. Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo; Its body is like bamboo, infinitely fresh. Scholars in China have always attached importance to honesty. A painter who doesn't love the nation and the motherland will lose his integrity. The value of painting lies in personality, and personality-patriotism is paramount-only a country can have a home. Art is insight and refinement, which is the lofty and great spirit of this nation, but what can best embody this spirit is his real works of art. Man's purpose is to forge ahead and make selfless contributions to human society. A person's character is decent and thoughtful. The value of a person is that he has a place in his heart.
